bERllN, Jan. l4.-Ine late OF the German
army bill was settled today by the Reichstag
adversely to the government, and action was
Immediately taken to dissolve.
Before dlssolving Herr Won Hauffenberg's
amendment, limiting the duration Of the bill
to three years, was voted upon and carried,
the vote standing 1856 to 154. The Conserva-
tives, Imperialists and National Liberals
voted with the minority The Socialist and
most of the Alsatian members abstained
from voting
Prince Bismarck then read the imperial
message dissolving the Reichstag.
A despatch to the London Standard says
that the Chancellor intended to dissolve the
Reichstag yesterday and actually had the
writ signed, but he was dissuaded from
doing so by Emperor William and Herr Won
Baettischer, Minister Of the Interior.
The publication in Paris Of the full text of
Bismarck's speeches in the Reichstag is
tending to alter the tone of public opinion
regarding his utterances. The Chancellor is
charged by many Frenchmen with brutality
and with endeavoring to provoke war with
France. The principal result will be to
strengthen Boulanger's demand for military
credits.
The War Minister, however, in order to
avoid conflict with his colleagues has con-
sented to accept credit Of S7,500,0O0 francs
as sufficient for the present year, but his
original demand for 325.0OO000 francs re-
mains his estimate on paper.
The North German Gazette, in an article
on the dissolution Of the Reichstag, says
Before all, the German people demand that
every Reichstag shall grant without fear or
hesitation what is necessary for external and
internal security of the empire. Upon this
point common sense will surely teach that
the voters will place more value upon the
opinion of the Emperor and his advisers
than upon that Of imperious parliamentary
politicians
DUBLIN, Jan. 14.-The eviction of the
tenants on the Winn estates, in County
Kerry, were continued today. The bailiffs

ened to fire il Immediate surrender was not
made. At this the defenders yielded and
submitted to arrest The wife of tenant
was carried out of the house in fainting
condition. She was afterwards left dying in
the yard. The people are maddened at the
brutality Of the officers. MIR. Harrington,
member Of Parliament, exhorted them TO
avoid violence, and with difficulty prevented
blo0dshed
: LONDON, Jan. 14-The Times this morn
ing, commenting on Bismarck's speech, says
that official circles take an opposite view on
The question to that OF the Cabinet. The
Times considers that Bismarck's declara-
tions are identical with those Of Count Kal-
noky, the Austrian Prime Minister.
